iPod Touch as PDA?

Currently, (and I say this with the possibility of the functionality being re-added at some point through a software update) If you wish to have the funtion of inputting calendar entries directly on a devce, I'd opt for the iPhone. If not, buy the iPod touch. iPod touch is a GREAT piece of kit, for Music, Videos, Photos, and fairs well as a FULL internet browser (without flash support).

No-one here is directly involved with Apple, therefore anyone replying to this thread does not know when or if calendar functionality will be re-added. The only evidence it 'may' be re-added is an e-mail someone supposedly recieved over at Mac Rumors, who claims it's from +Steve Jobs+ or a high ranking Apple Rep.

Take this with a pitch of salt. Don't worry about the future of a device. Use it today, for what it's capable of.

i believe they have said that the ability to add to calendar will be in a future update.

In February Apple is giving out the SDK so developers can make applications for the iPod Touch. So you will be seeing a lot of stuff that will make the iPod Touch a good PDA.

Your wish has been granted, check out the web apps section of the apple website. This will have all of the apps you need to make you i-pod touch or i-phone the perfect PDA and more.

sorry, but web apps no matter how good they are, can make an ipt a good pda.

apple needs to put the ability in the ipt. and it wouldnt take much.

a notes program.
a to do program.
the ability to add to the calendar.

web apps arent always available, and if they were imagine the battery life.

Since that software is being made avilible the possibilities are ENDLESS!!. GAMES,WEATHER,E-MAIL,STOCKS,MAPS! The iPhone with out the Phone

or bluetooth

I don't want web apps. Wifi is not always available, so I want apps on my touch. You can keep web apps.

The iTouch is not a PDA, it is an iPod. Designed to play music and video primarily and Apple gave us some other goodies. But is isn't a PDA.
Rumor has it Apple will be introducing a PDA in the future. Don't complain this device is what Apple said it was - we'd all like other things added but it isn't what Apple advertised, yet.

Don't complain that people are complaining. 🙂

I think the requests are natural considering that the iPod touch includes calendar synching and a browser. It is only natural to see some PDA-like features and want more. That is very natural and reasonable.

The market is what the consumers say it is, not what the manufacturer says it ought to be.
